2010–2015: Steady Growth

Between 2010 and 2015, Veppampattu saw moderate annual appreciation rates of 6–8%. This period was characterized by local migration from neighboring towns as the area began to see a growth in basic infrastructure, including roads, water supply, and electricity.

The most notable driver of this initial growth was the development of Avadi as an industrial hub, particularly the establishment of key industries in the region. At this time, Veppampattu was still largely a rural setting, but its proximity to industrial zones started attracting early investors looking for land near emerging commercial developments.

Between 2016 and 2020, Veppampattu experienced a much more substantial surge in real estate growth, with 12–15% compound annual growth rate (CAGR). The primary factors contributing to this growth include:

•       CMDA’s Peripheral Growth Plans: The Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority (CMDA) initiated infrastructure projects like the Outer Ring Road (ORR) and NH-205, which significantly improved connectivity to other parts of Chennai. These developments made Veppampattu a more viable location for both residential and commercial projects.
